Title: Get COLD already!!!
Post by: Kory on Oct 06, 2007, 01:48 PM
I'm sick of this fucking heat. It's October 6th and 85 degrees with what feels like 99% humidity. I swear I'm evolving my self a pair of gills to breathe in water.

I'm just outside of Louisville and we get screwed out of fall one way or the other and usually it's due to an early cold. It should be cold and gloomy now and I want to wear a sweatshirt. The grass is alway greener... well, not mine, it's brown.

What's it like where you are?

here in southern minnesota, and its sunny outside. it 85 and humid. leaves are changing colors. i too like to wear a sweatshirt. minnesota you can wear a sweatshirt pretty much 8 months outta the year.  which explains why i have more sweatshirt than t-shirts. but i don't want it to get cold. cold here means warming your car for a half an hour and -20 below with wind howling. so i'll say get cool already!!!

i feel you kory.  I was looking forward to doing some work in the garage and the yard but it's hot out there!  It's October already.  It seems like fall gets shorter every year, which sucks because it's my favorite season.

Oh you guys should be here....rained all last week and it has been chilly.  I had to bust out the feather blanket and turn on the heat  :-[.  Usually Oregon has a late summer and October is full of chilly, yet sunny, days.   50 degrees F.....feels downright cold!

Quotei want to have a day where i don't need the air conditioner.

My stupid cars ac kicked out a few weeks ago when the weather was nice (for like 2 days) and I though, great... perfect timing... I can deal with it. Now it's been another 2 weeks of fucking HOT with no ac and me being a slightly overweight guy is no good in humidity...

Hope you're feeling better meg...

I hear you Kory. Normally summer is my favorite time of year. Hot, humid, less clothing. But his year was just miserable and it has dragged on and on. 90's here in St Louis today. I want fall dammit it. I want to sit outside without sweat rolling down my. I want to use my f'n patio that I built this spring that i have hardly used because it is just damn hot.

Yessss!  It's been downright Autumnal!  Yay!  Nothing is better than layering the clothes and making soup for dinner.  Pacific NW is where it's at!

Today in Southern Ontario and in particular Toronto, it should get up to the low 30's... Celcius; which is a record high for October. BTW, that's 86 Farenheit.

It's 71 degrees & it's not even 9 a.m. in Chicago. It's supposed to get to 88 today.

Yesterday, the powers that be cancelled the Chicago Marathon about 3 1/2 hours after it started. Unfortunately, one man has died and there are a few who are in critical condition. Sending them good vibes for a speedy recovery.

I can't remember an October where it's been this hot. Crazy!

Try living in hot-ass humid-ass Alabama with a car that doesn't have AC and driving around in it all summer. My wife's car has AC and I get to drive it every once in a while, so that's cool.

There's some sort of leak or something in my coolant. I've put several cans in this summer and they last a week or two.  :(

kory and corey, i feel your pain. my shitty car has a hole in the air compressor, which means no a/c for me. it is such a pain in the ass; by the time i get to work, i feel so disgusting.

I feel you, kory!  I'm just up the road from you...Indianapolis, here. It's hot and humid here too. I HATE IT.

Three freakin' weeks before Halloween and I'm not even in the mood to decorate!  Where's the 65 degrees and chilly weather?  

Saturday afternoons in the fall are for college football, jeans and chili making, as far as I'm concerned...not dragging out my damned capri pants AGAIN and wearing the same short-sleeved shirts I've been wearing since April.

Ugh.

The Ohio valley area (as well as many other areas) are getting that well deserved break starting today... It's somewhere in the 70's outside with a chilly wind blowing through the air. I'm so happy!

ahh, we hit the 40's last night and my house is freezing. I'm enjoying this as well as taking the load off my AC unit. Sorry to those further north but I was only wishing for the inevitable, albeit late.

Got our first snowfall today!  Normally we have snow by Halloween, but we're a bit late this year.  At about half an inch, and still coming down.  It's just barely below freezing, I love Winter days like this.

we got some flurries the other day but no accumulation. it sucks that it was warm for so long, thne just a couple weeks of mildly cool fall weather, and now its pretty fucking cold.

Still in the 60's mid to late November! Been able to wear T shirt while working on leaves most afternoons. Seems bizarre.

Canadian measure indeed!  Something like -24, and with the wind chill -34.  

I do love a Canadian winter though - I don't feel bad when I stay in all the time, cause I'm not missing out on beautiful weather.  But sometimes (a lot) it's just too cold).  

How crazy cold does it get in T.O.?  Keep the jive alive!

saskatchewan is crazy.  hey who won the grey cup, btw?  i was rooting for you guys, even though i know nothing about football, let alone canadian football.

-34 feels like a very very cold temp.  it gets cold here, but i don't think it gets that cold.  certainly not in november.  jaimoe can probably answer that better than i.  

last year at this time i remember wearing my spring jacket in the park.  nutters.

Winters in Southern/Eastern Ontario don't get too cold anymore, certainly not -34 Celsius. I believe Toronto had a month of cold at the end of January into February last year. The worst it got was around -18 to -20, not including the wind-chill. BTW my American friends, -34 Celsius is -29 Farenheit. Yep, the Prairie Provinces can get awfully cold awfully early.
